I got Cdiff from augmentin the end of November 2022. December 5, I became very I’ll, fever, barely able to make it to the toilet and sometimes not getting there in time. After 2 days of the watery diarrhea and fever, not eating and barely drinking, I went to the ER. They did every test except for CDiff and sent me home with augmentin!! The next week my Dr took me off of the aug. and put me on a different antibiotic since I wasn’t feeling good still. The following week I became very I’ll again with fever and the watery diarrhea, went back to the ER, they gave me a bag of fluids and a bit of antibiotics in the IV. Sent me home with Flagyl. Things started to get a little better after a few days and a week later I became sicker than I already had been. Temp of 104* , watery diarrhea so bad. I had my son drive me to a hospital ER in Columbus and was admitted with CDiff and sepsis. I spent 8 days in the hospital, on liquid vancomycin, and sent home with another weeks worth. One week and 2 days later the CDiff was back ! I’m currently back on vancomycin capsules and the directions are to slowly wean me off after 2 weeks. They are now prescribing probiotics, I just hope it all works. I’ve also disinfected bathrooms etc with Clorox germicidal wipes. It feels like a bad dream going through this. I think I’ve almost close to PTSD WITH CDIFF !
